No, the first computer is Windows ME. The second (the one with Maya) is Window 2000 Professional Edition. Anyway WMP works and Zoom Player works. Everything works! And I just watched the fire ring tutorial and it was great! I never knew you could emit particles in such a way. I also found a good use for the drag field finally. I am very pleased with what I see.

Thanks for all the help Kevin and great tutorial Izzy!
